From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bottles is very hit or miss for me, extremely jank. When it works it's awesome though.
Wine usually just works in my experience.
But I don't use most of the common problem programs, like adobe products or whatever. It may be better to ask specifically about what programs you're concerned about compatibility with.
